Economic Zone (EEZ) off the East Coast
under the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery

implement and administer components
of the FMP, OMB Control No. 0648–

forms; VMS purchase and installation

permitted scallop vessel; VMS daily
catch reports; submission of ownership
cap forms for individual fishing quota
(IFQ) scallop vessels; submission of
vessel replacement, upgrade and permit
history applications for IFQ, Northern
Gulf of Maine (NGOM), and Incidental
Catch (IC) scallop vessels; submission of
VMS pre-landing notification form by
IFQ vessels and limited access vessels
for access areas; enrollment into the
state waters exemption program;
submission of requests for IFQ transfers;
payment of cost recovery bills for IFQ
vessels; sector proposals for IFQ vessels
and industry participants; and sector
operations plans for approved sector
proposals.
Data collected through these programs
are incorporated into the NMFS
database and are used to track and
confirm vessel permit status and
eligibility, scallop landings, and scallop
vessel allocations. Aggregated
summaries of the collected information
will be used to evaluate the
management program and future
management proposals.
